Ft. DeSoto (as seen from the East Beach shoreline)

Recently I spent a (blistering cold) morning there photographing the shoreline, and views of the famous Sunshine Skyway bridge, from the East Beach of the park. There are some seagull and Great Egret shots thrown in among some of these recent captures:

A group of Terns in the chilly shoreline. Funny how they huddle together, as if staying warm on this, the coldest day on record, at Fort DeSoto

I never noticed, until this day, that Terns enjoy floating like ducks in the ocean.
